580. "The Walking Dead" has a happy ending
PS: Thank you for the valuable evaluation votes cast by the students of Confused Snow!
After gesturing with the crew, Ye Sumang took the phone and walked to a corner.
Anyway, I've been waiting for this call for a long time.
"Severn, how's it going?" Picking up the phone, without waiting for the other party to speak, Ye Sumang immediately asked.
This call was made by Saiwen, and it was also specially ordered by Ye Sumang, because today is the day when the ratings of the episode "The Walking Dead" Zuihou were announced, and Ye Sumang deliberately asked Saiwen to understand the situation at all times, and notified himself as soon as he got the final result.
Saiwen on the other end gasped, obviously excited: "BOSS, live up to expectations." ”
Just four words, the boulder that Ye Sumang pressed on his heart fell instantly, although Saiwen was a little frizzy, but he was able to say 'live up to expectations', obviously the ratings of the finale should be very ideal.
Sure enough, as Ye Sumang expected at this moment, the finale of "The Walking Dead" is very ideal, and the ideal is beyond imagination.
Originally, in Ye Sumang's speculation, maintaining the data of tens of millions of viewers is a success, after all, it is difficult to reach this hurdle and want to go further, but what I didn't expect was that the finale gave Ye Sumang an unimaginable surprise.
"The viewing population is as high as 12.03 million, an increase of nearly two million !!" Severn's voice trembled greatly when he said the number, and even now, he still felt a little incredulous.
Two million, and it is an increase of two million on the premise of 10 million viewership population data, and the ratings are infinitely close to 4, which is already suitable for the best TV series in recent years, and perhaps only the popular "Prison Break" can be compared.
Ye Sumang was also a little confused, 12 million. To be honest, Ye Sumang never dared to think that this kind of growth was too unexpected, too sudden, and even suddenly felt a little unreal.
"What's going on? How did it grow so much all at once? Knowing the plot of the episode Zuihou, Ye Sumang felt that it would not be such an exaggeration to rise by two million all at once.
However, Severn was quick to give a reason.
"BOSS, don't question this data. It's completely real and reliable, and the specific reason for the growth is probably related to the fans of the show, who seem to have launched an action to call on the whole people to watch an episode of zuihou, of course, it also has something to do with your announcement that "The Road to Survival" is about to release an EP, in short, some conditions have come together to make up this miracle gift. ”
"It's incredible." After listening to Saiwen's explanation, Ye Sumang still felt like he was in a dream.
But the good news from the Severn report is not over.
“BOSS。 There is also an update on the second season of negotiations, with NBC hoping to use Your Way to Survive as the opening song for the second season, and hopefully continuing to use it until the show finally ends, and they are willing to pay a million dollars for the perpetual rights to use it, promising to limit it to the show only. There is also an update on the negotiations for the second season, NBC has agreed to back down, your maximum profit estimate has been accepted, and now you are waiting for you to return to the United States to sign a contract. You'll make hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue right away......"
Hearing these news, Ye Sumang couldn't help but be happy. NBC really couldn't hold its breath.
To be honest, if you are a TV station, you will definitely not be able to hold your breath when you see that the final viewership of the TV series exceeds 12 million, if this TV series is really snatched away, then your TV station will not only lose a lot of profits. It will become a laughing stock in the industry.
This is not a loss that anyone can afford, and the benefits of "The Walking Dead" are not only for him, but also for NBC, it has also played a stimulating role in the overall malaise of the television station.
According to incomplete statistics, "The Walking Dead" has been on the air since it was launched. The ratings of all NBC TV programs have increased by 0.3~0.5 percentage points, and a few programs have risen by more than 0.5, and there is a new variety show that introduces various tidbits and discussions in The Walking Dead, which has maintained an audience rating of about 1, and has almost become NBC's current popular variety show, and this data is converted into millions of viewers, which also proves that "The Walking Dead" has brought millions of fixed viewers to the TV station.
Viewers, this is the lifeblood of the TV station, with this effect, how can the TV station let it go.
"I told NBC that I agreed to the signing and that I could start the signing ceremony when I returned to the United States." After calming down, Ye Sumang immediately commanded.
"Understood, Boss." Saiwen responded excitedly, at this moment he also felt honored, this time as Ye Sumang's agent followed the negotiation team into the NBC building, all the way to the surprised and respectful gaze, which he had never felt before.
Hanging up the phone, Ye Sumang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After returning to his position, Liu Yifei sat on the side and watched the set and drank coffee, Ye Sumang suddenly smiled, put it in the girl's ear, and said a few words softly.
In the next second, the coffee in the girl's mouth squirted out instantly, a pair of beautiful eyes stared at the boss, and after a moment of shock, a bright smile gradually surfaced on her cheeks, and she didn't care about the coffee on her lips, and the girl hugged Ye Sumang excitedly for a 'wolf kiss', which made everyone on the scene look stupid, and bursts of exclamations and whistles continued to sound......
And in the United States at this moment, Ye Sumang's achievements have also shocked countless people.
In the Los Angeles Entertainment Journal, a TV series critic praised the end of the first episode of The Walking Dead at great length.
"The first season of "The Walking Dead" is finally over, this is a drama that was not favored by countless people at first, but finally shocked countless people! That's right, please let me use the divine drama to describe him, the last time I used this was when I was in "Prison Break", and the achievements of "The Walking Dead" today, I think they are fully worthy of these two words.
The ratings myth it set off sent the shivers down the dots of CBS, ABC, FOX and The CW, and he swept all the broadcast network dramas throughout the year, and he set off a hardcore frenzy around the world!!
Those zombies that look disgusting and die in a variety of ways but make people have infinite desires to look at them, as well as all kinds of characters who are wonderful and full of feelings, as well as the wonderful plot with twists and turns and twists and turns, are all elements of this "The Walking Dead".
Although the first season has just ended, I can't help but look forward to the arrival of the second season at this moment, I believe there are tens of millions of viewers like me, and next year's Emmys, Golden Globes, and Saturn Awards, I think you who like "The Walking Dead" viewers must also have great expectations......"
As soon as this TV series review came out, it immediately caused a heated discussion, some people agreed, some people said that it was exaggerated, and many "Prison Break" fans thought that "The Walking Dead" was not worthy of being comparable to their divine drama, but in any case, the achievements of "The Walking Dead" are obvious to all, and the results of 1200 highest rated population data are also miraculous.
Especially the words that made the major TV stations tremble were laughed at by countless viewers of "The Walking Dead", it is no secret that Ye Sumang was rejected by several major TV stations at the beginning, but who would have expected that this TV series would really be so powerful?
Regret is certain, those directors who received Ye Sumang at the beginning have more or less eaten the hammer hammered down by the high-level, and the saddest thing is that a few even left their jobs because of this matter, after all, what they once let go of was a TV series with hundreds of millions of dollars and huge influence, such a superficial person with no vision, how could the senior management of that group of TV networks put them in such an important position with peace of mind?
And Ye Sumang's success has also invisibly changed many people's views.
That is, in terms of racism, they have converged a lot, this kind of discrimination is an invisible existence in Western countries, because conflicts caused by skin color problems are not uncommon, but Ye Sumang's success has undoubtedly sounded a warning light for many people, and yellow people may not be able to succeed.
In the days that followed, the major TV broadcasters were obviously not better at treating the rest of the skin color, especially Asian screenwriters, at least not with too many colored glasses.
"Crystal, why are you so happy?" Lily began to be blindfolded by her mother, but the little girl still saw everything from between her fingers, and after Liu Yifei's mood calmed down, the little girl immediately asked curiously.
"Because my sister has achieved good results in the TV series." Liu Yifei replied with a smile, 12 million, when she got the news, she felt that she was about to go crazy with joy.
Lily tilted her little neck, nodded as if she didn't understand, and after a while, she ran to Ye Sumang's side and asked a few words.
has such a laughing microphone, and soon the entire crew knows that Ye Sumang's TV series has achieved a very happy ending, especially after getting specific data, it has attracted everyone's exclamations.
It is true that the status of TV series in the United States is far inferior to that of movies, but it also depends on what TV series it is, similar to "The Walking Dead", a TV series that has exceeded 12 million, I am afraid that these movie stars present will also be completely tempted and want to play a role.
After all, this viewership population data alone is shocking enough, and everyone knows how much effect tens of millions of people will have when they watch it.
"Director, I want to be treated! We want to be happy, we want to have a party!! John shouted excitedly, and received a response.
Looking at this group of coaxing people, Ye Sumang couldn't cry or laugh, you must know that this is the achievement of "The Walking Dead", what kind of coaxing did the members of this gang of "2012" crew make, and what does it have to do with them?
However, it is really unreasonable not to celebrate after getting such haode news, and in addition to the actors, most of the crew members who follow him have filmed "The Walking Dead", even if it is for this group of good employees, Ye Sumang has to be generous this time! (To be continued......)
